Sat, 12 Jul 2014 06:33:09 -0700
Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington does not appear to be concerned with the recent struggles of OF Shin-Soo Choo. Washington said his competitive nature is probably contributing to him pressing. "But he's been around the game long enough to handle it," Washington said.
Fantasy Tip: Choo has struck out six times in the past two games. Keep an eye on this situation moving forward, but keep using Choo as you normally would for now.

Sun, 04 May 2014 23:48:37 -0700
Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington dropped slumping SS Elvis Andrus to the ninth spot on Sunday, May 4, after Andrus went 0 for 5 with three strikeouts the previous day and left six runners on base. "He's not able to slow things down," Washington said. "He's not swinging the bat well, so he's chasing pitches that he ordinarily wouldn't chase. Right now, he's out of sync." Andrus singled, walked and had an RBI sacrifice fly on Sunday.

| Rangers | Shin-Soo Choo hopes to avoid DL |
Mon, 28 Apr 2014 01:03:00 -0700
Texas Rangers OF Shin-Soo Choo (ankle) hopes to avoid a trip to the 15-day disabled list. He was out this weekend due to an ankle injury but not shelved by the team. Major league rules give a team 10 days to backdate a move to the DL, and manager Ron Washington said that the Rangers are planning to max that out as they wait to see if Choo's sprained left ankle will heal enough for him to be an option.

| Rangers | Prince Fielder to bat in third slot |
Mon, 27 Jan 2014 23:26:14 -0800
Texas Rangers 1B Prince Fielder will bat ahead of 3B Adrian Beltre in the lineup for 2014, with Fielder going third and Beltre fourth. Columnist Gerry Fraley speculates OF Shin-Soo Choo will bat leadoff. The second slot in the lineup was not disclosed by manager Ron Washington.
Fantasy Tip: A combination of a shorter right-field porch at The Ballpark in Arlington and hitting ahead of Adrian Beltre could help Fielder regain what seemed to be a lost stroke in 2013. You have to wonder if his personal issues (divorce) may have spilled over onto the diamond, and if he is past those issues Fielder could be gangbusters in 2014.
